Nice for a bachelor, I guess. But if I walked into that bedroom I'd right away ask: "Who the hell is that b*tch on the wall?" LOL J/K! Well, I might ask it as a joke and see what kind of reaction I'd get. IP: Logged |

I bet it will look fab when you do. Yeah, i'm a fan of bold colors. Also a huge fan of white and greys with splashes of jewel tones. I do not like Itailan style beigies, or too much gold. Or black leather or lots of black peices in a room in general. Two colors I also cannont take are maroon and forrest green. Especially together with lots of dark polished wood and gold accents. I like a light airy feeling with lots of color, or with cool whites and greys and splashes of one color or colors withing a similar family. IP: Logged |

A hotel is different. I'd totally make a big deal about it if it were a guy's room though. *Tau/Leo drama* *pointing, pretend furious* "AND WHO THE HELL IS SHE???!!!" lol but totally be joking and dramatic just to get a laugh. IP: Logged |

You know well enough not to decorate you pad with framed sports posters or in all tans and browns. Men should be less afraid of color. IP: Logged |

Nice!!!I liked this bedroom: and then there's... which i actually think is kind of cool There was a funny commentary on bachelor pads that I'd sent to a single male friend of mine, but it's been taken down now. If i find it again I'll post it because I think you guys would find it hilarious too. IP: Logged |

*gasp!* lol Yeah, that's a great idea too. Keep everything kind of low key and let some awesome art make the place really pop! I've a great little white loveseat that I couldnt get rid of and have a very colorful painting of mine behind it. The go together really well. I try to keep the big pieces in my space light and suble and let the accents and art make the statements.....like wearing jewelry. IP: Logged |
